02 Where are the classes held?
All courses are held in Laguna Wood Village facilities. Most courses are held in the Clubhouse 3 Theatre. Course locations are specified with the individual course descriptions. Click Course Catalog for a list of courses.
03 Will the academy be offering any classes
dealing with motion pictures/film?
THE VILLAGE ACADEMY needs the right cameras, etc. to be able to teach those classes, and it will take time to raise the money for that since I (Jeanne) want to keep the cost of the courses as low as possible. However, I am going to be looking into other ways of getting the equipment or the funding for the equipment. So, stay tuned... Click Course Catalog for a list of courses.
